How to replace the caregiver when he is absent for vacation, accident or illness? Simple: just ask for the caregiver replacement service. With this service you get in a very short time an expert and qualified person able to perfectly fill the absence of your caregiver. With the caregiver replacement service, a qualified operator will take care of the elderly or disabled person during all periods of absence of the caregiver, including the day of rest. As a worker, the carer is in fact entitled to vacation and weekly rest, but, often, older people who are enticed and with chronic or neurodegenerative diseases, can not afford to stay a single minute longer without continuous assistance. This is why finding an operator who replaces the caregiver during his absence is, above all, essential for the well-being of the patient.
